  • Publication number: 20260187353
    Abstract: A system for generating training data to train agents to automate tasks otherwise done by users includes an intermediary disposed between an interface and a user. The intermediary is configured to: intercept one or more user-actuated actions directed towards the interface by the user, the user-actuated actions, if received by the interface, execute a task on the interface; preserve a state of the interface prior to the execution of the task; translate the user-actuated actions into one or more actuation commands, the actuation commands configured to trigger one or more machine-actuated actions that replicate the user-actuated actions on the interface to cause automation of the task; and generate a training dataset to train an agent to automate the task, wherein the training dataset requires the agent to process, as input, the state of the interface prior to the execution of the task, and to generate, as output, the actuation commands.

  • Patent number: 7348461
    Abstract: Methods and materials are provided for the production of essentially isomerically pure perhalogenated and partially halogenated compounds. One embodiment of the present invention provides a process for the production of essentially isomerically pure CFC-216aa. Other embodiments include processes for the production of CFC-217ba and HFC-227ea. Particular embodiments of the present invention provide separation techniques for the separation of chlorofluorocarbons from HF, from other chlorofluorocarbons, and the separation of isomers of halogenated compounds. Still other embodiments of the present invention provide catalytic synthetic techniques that demonstrate extended catalyst lifetime. In other embodiments, the present invention provides catalytic techniques for the purification of isomeric mixtures.
